Hole to receive a lace (6)

I believe the answer is:

eyelet

(Other definitions for eyelet that I've seen before include "Small opening in needle for thread" , "One caught by hook" , "Small hole as in needle or shoe" , "Metal ring reinforcing a small round hole in fabric" , "Hole for a lace or cord" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
